You weren&#8217;t dreaming &#8211; I indeed moved changed a few things.  Here is a round-up for those of you who enjoy these sort of things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>List of categories moved up.<\/strong>  Since I am interested in and blog about many different things, I don&#8217;t blame you if you would like to skip some of them and read only things that you care about.  I moved the list of categories higher up in the sidebar, so that you could jump directly to the topic of your choice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full posts in categories, tags, and archives.<\/strong>  This should also make reading posts about specific things easier.  You won&#8217;t need to jump to the full post page all that often now.  Less clicks and all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Category header images.<\/strong>  Some categories (see Photography, Movies, and Technology for examples) will greet you with different header images (once again, thanks to Igor Gorbulinsky for his talent and time).  This feature should help you out a bit while navigating the site &#8211; instant indicator of where you are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highlight of category name, tag, and search query.<\/strong>  When you navigate to posts of a specific tag or category, you should see the term at the top of the page.  Sometimes the term is highlighted, like, for example, in case of search query.  Also, sometimes, you have a link to RSS feed which provides easier access to similar posts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved RSS feed auto-discovery.<\/strong>  Depending on where you are on the site, your browser will suggest a different set of RSS feeds to subscribe to.  I&#8217;m trying to make these things as intuitive as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved browser compatibility and standard compliance.<\/strong>  A few small glitches here and there were fixed.  All RSS feeds are valid now, except for those rare cases when content of specific posts causes problems.  CSS is now valid and many warnings are fixed.  HTML is now almost valid.  There are a few issues which which are caused by WordPress bugs, but fixes for these seem to be available in the upcoming version of WordPress.  In any case, it seems all theme and plugin specific issues were fixed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upgraded WordPress to version 2.3.3 .<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 This is the latest version with all the security fixes and such.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see from the list above, all of these changes are rather cosmetic and can be classified as web site polish. None of them should cause any issues to you or your browser, and much of the misbehaving functionality should be fixed now.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any ideas on suggestions on further improvements, or if you notice any misbehavior at all, please let me know.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>If you have a lot of attention for details, you probably noticed a few things moving around and changing on this blog in the last few days.
